While I plan on using mine for my kegs, for a carboy I would use a plastic milk crate (like the ones that say "Thou Shalt Not Steal" on them, although Wally World probably sells them). With one hand steadying the carboy the other would be ratcheting the winch.

I can't tell if it's reversible - it might be difficult lowering a full carboy (or keg) down into the freezer.

Hey all, I'm headed up to north Seattle, WA. area (Lynnwood) and then heading to Vancouver, BC. Any good recommendations on breweries and brew pubs? We plan on hitting Grandville Island in Vancouver and possibly Chuckanut in WA.

If you're spending any time in Lynnwood (vs. just driving through) American Brewing in Edmonds and Ellersick Brewing (Big E ales) in Lynnwood are two breweries nearby that have some tasty beers.
